    I find committing to eating meals without distractions and limiting my social media use to 1x per day challenging on a daily basis. A challenge that can become a habit. Consistency is key!

    I put my computer to sleep, turned off all appliances and lights that weren't being used, didn't waste any food, I ate fruits for dessert, I went to bed at 10pm, the list goes on. Making a habit of doing all of this on a daily basis.

    I like to shower every day and enjoy my 5 minute showers 4 days a week! I once read that we don't need to wash our entire body everyday, only the areas emitting BO, and that our skin has effective ways of cleaning itself. I feel good knowing that i'm saving some H2O!
